$300 isn't steep, it's ridiculous.
yeah I am shocked they think this is a 300 dollar set with just a few minis, and zero antagonist
I mean, is anyone really surprised?
Licensed IP tax plus the "2-in-1" fluff. Ridiculous is right.
Not really it's inline with licensed sets.
Especially considering the brand new Milky Way set with 3000 pieces was just $200
Yeesh the price, my goodness. Lego has gotten WAY too expensive with their sets lately.
It varies wildly by set. But the main Mario display piece (the Mario 64 ? Block for $200/2064 pieces) is a certainly a much better deal. Even the Artemis rocket (which I don't like compared with the Saturn V) is $260 for 3601 pieces. The medieval town square is $230 for 3304 pieces, including a bunch of figures. Even the "Friends Modern Mansion" (which is a frankly amazing dollhouse) is only $200 for 2275 pieces. It isn't just a 'licensed item tax), consider the huge D&D set, $360 for 3745 pieces, a much better deal. one The $300 for the 2500-piece tree just feels way too high.
Of course, the best deals for big quantities of parts are still things like the "Creative Fantasy Universe" box, $90 for 1800 pieces.
Perfect set for me as a zelda fan but 300 price tag is just not happening for me. Im gonna be so sad if they dont make more sets based on the game. :(
Same here, would’ve LOVED to get it, but I’m completely priced out
The Legend of Zelda series producer is quoted in the press release as saying "(t)he Deku Tree was the *first* element from The Legend of Zelda we wanted to represent using LEGO bricks" (emphasis mine), so future Zelda sets seem quite likely.
The price is disappointing. It's a line I've wanted to see in LEGO for more than 25 years, but for $300 I could buy so much other official merch, not to mention games themselves.
Right you could buy the new life size master sword replica and a copy of tears of the 70 dollar kingdom for cheaper than this. Probably a Zelda poster too. lol
You could buy a Switch and Tears of the Kingdom for that price lol
$300 seems steep!
shocking even!
"Seems" seems like an understatement
Wow, so the Deku Tree set really is real. But, 300?! Ouch! That's the same price as a Switch!
The tree and the Koroks and various characters look great. The Links and Zelda look great. Master Sword, Hylian Shield, and Ocarina are awesome.
I grew up with Sega systems and Playstation, but I got Nintendo systems once I got a job, and went back and played through all the Zelda games up to that point. GameCube was the most recent system then. They're a lot of fun, with the setting, exploration, and puzzles, and you might enjoy them as well, JANG.
My favorite game is Link to the Past, but I really love Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. I liked Ocarina of Time well enough, but I preferred Majora's Mask. If I am somehow able to miraculously get this set, I'd probably build the Breath of the Wild version.
I would've preferred Hyrule Castle instead of the Deku Tree, but man, that would be be even more expensive, even if it wasn't minifig scale!
I would love if you review this, JANG. Even without playing the games, your LEGO reviews are the go-to ones for myself and many others. I'd also like to see if this is actually worth $300, and you do a great job at evaluating value.
This cost more than most standard Star Wars UCS sets and Modular Buildings.
That's just criminal pricing.
The price is in the region of Barad Dur - this is a crazy price. This will be hard to justify, especially because my first thought was - "I need two"
Yeah, its a pretty nutty price for what you get. It's probably the price it is because of the new printed pieces, especially the Master Sword mould. Not sure if the shield is new, but even so its still pricey. Now that I think of it, Nintendo is probably making Lego pay through the nose on licensing to boot.
At least the figs look good though.
@@mr_earwig6477shield is new. Price is hardly justifiable. I saw this compared to the Daily Bugle, which had ~1700 more pieces, ~3x as many figures, and was only 50 dollars more. 300 looks ridiculous when you think about that.
Agreed. My collecting need to own both versions of this is gonna kill me... I mean I COULD ask for it for my birthday as it's releasing the day before, but still
At least Barad-Dur is huge and impressive looking.
Its like the AT-AT. I scoff at the price but then I see it in person and holy canoli is it impressively huge and dense. This set? Doesn't look like $300.
Nah that doesn't warrant the price. I honestly think it's Nintendo just charging top dollar for the Zelda licence@@mr_earwig6477
The price is way too steep!! :o
I'm agreeing with some of the other comments here, it looks great and as a huge Zelda fan I've been waiting for them to make something like this, but that price point is very tough to swallow considering a significant part of the whole package will be completely unused by building only one of the two models. I'm on the fence.
Exactly! That's what makes the $300 price point even worse. Easy pass for me.
I’ve been waiting too long to not get is how I feel but shame on them for gouging the fans like this. Big thumbs up for the effort and end result but an equal thumbs down for making it way more expensive than it should be.
It's TOO EXPENSIVE. Was tentatively excited for it based on rumors leading up to the reveal but after seeing both the price and the final build.....it's definitely a wait for a sale for me
do sets this big and popular usually go on sale? if so, what prices are we looking at here.
If I saw this on sale for like 40-50% off id grab it. Right now it’s about double what it should reasonably be.
It's a shame that sales are such an oddity with LEGO. Especially with how corrupt and outrageous the after-market scene is with scalpers. I would wait for a sale as well, except for the fact that I only ever see sales (on the official store, and not often other storefronts) at the end of a sets life, when they're about to retire it and want to get the remaining stock rid of. I've got some sets on discount from random Amazon sales, but that's about it. The only other sales I can think of would be brick and mortar retailers, such as Target, doing flash sales, but that takes going to that specific store frequently enough to check for one.
*Edit:* just realized that because it's an *"exclusive"* it'll only ever be directly from LEGO. So no Amazon/Target sales for this one 😬
$300 is CRIMINAL!!!
The price is kinda crazy, but the set itself is gorgeous
You are definitely the most objective Lego reviewer. I’d like to see you review this but I understand why you may not
Would definitely want to see a review from you for your nuanced opinion on price VS “volume of stuff” for this set. $300 seems a little steep for this set, but maybe it’ll make more sense after seeing the set in person and seeing how many pieces are not shared between the two builds. Not having played the games seems like a non issue considering you always seem to do thorough research beforehand with this video being no exception.
Lego's corrupt pricing strikes again!
the master sword looks a bit more purple than I'm used to, and the crossguard is slightly oversized.
the size just seems like a minifig scaling thing to me.
BOTW zelda wears a rather plain outfit, i don't really see any detail in the print that is missing.
and while it isn't shown, the master sword and hylian shield are suitable for OOT adult link too
I think the Master Sword is iridescent as well to simulate it's charged glow, which is why it looks purple. As far as the Zelda mini-fig, I'd want to see how her chest print looks because that's really the only place she has detail in the game.
I don't like the price to parts ratio. I'm also disappointed that we can't build both variants.
Price to piece isn’t exactly everything. Outside of actual the number of parts, you also factor in variables like the amount of larger parts, specially molded and newly produced parts, and licensing.
And, to say the least, Nintendo isn’t a very cheap company when it comes to licensing and branding.
Would I like if it were $250~270? Absolutely. But it’s at least semi-reasonable when it comes to checkout.
Also, while it is unfortunate that you can’t build both, that’s how almost(if not all) 2-in-1 sets work.
While PtP ratio is a downer (like, wth?), I don't get why people continue to be disappointed with not being able to build more than one version at a time? How do you expect it to work?
It is either :
a.) making a set double in price and size (which will make set unappealing to 95% of the people by default).
b.) making a super basic, dumbed down versions of both (which again, will make it a rather sad excuse of a set).
You can't have a cake and eat a cake. Most people will build it once and maybe redo it after some time. If someone wants other version, they'll buy the second/third set for that.
It's the same as the big Star Wars sets... It's a licensed product.
For people who only want one variant, it's just not worth the price. I wish they'd ditch the 2for1 for this and release them as separate, cheaper sets
Not gonna lie, when i first saw the pictures, I thought "Man, that's awesome! Can't wait to save up and pay the $150 for this!... oh, ohhhh, umm. ok. it's $300, I'll hold onto my money I guess"
150 would have been a perfect price
price is so expensive for a theme that you can experience endless fun when playing the actual games for a lot cheaper
The set is superb, but the price is too high. I'm not saying it's overpriced, just that I'm not interested in spending that amount of money in one single set. Now, if Lego releases a few 50€-60€ Zelda sets, I'm in.
it definitely is overpriced
300$!!!!!! That’s absolutely insane.
Even as a big Zelda fan I'm unsure because of the price, so I'd definitely watch an independent review done by you!
Yeeah, hopefully the Zelda theme continues after this with other accessible playsets
I think having a review done by you despite not having played the games would help give an unbiased look at the set. I have a feeling most reviews done by fans will be along the lines of “hey isn’t this great, we got a Zelda set.” $300 is a lot so I want to make sure the build is nice and the minifigs are high quality before buying it myself
Absolutely extortionate.. it's like they knew people would be willing to pay anything for this set and they capitalized on that. Very messed up.
I saw the thumbnail if the video and hyped up to sky. As soon as you revealed the price my excitement crashed back down to earth.
Beautiful set, outrageous price.
Looking forward to your review. In Jang We Trust.
The main detail on the Master Sword that’s changed is the jewel in the pommel - it’s been gold since it was first introduced in Link to the Past. Triple molding such a piece would be an even bigger cost though so I think it’s alright. The price is an iffy one for sure, but the sheer amount of specialty molds and big pieces on top of a licensing cost makes sense - it isn’t great, but it isn’t the worst. I hope it’s laying the ground work for more LoZ sets though- maybe not a full consumer range, but at least down to mid-sized pricing. Actually I do think there’s room to make a 4-in-1 for the Divine Beasts - about the scale of the Harry Potter buildable beasts perhaps.
I'd appreciate the review from you as a Lego product reviewer. Taking out the decades of fan bias for this set is actually really helpful for consumers on the fence like myself.
Would have been nice if they threw in Shiek or Ocarina of Time Zelda, especially for the price.
Or Saria would be important for the OoT tree too
For two seconds my mind read that as "Would have been nice if they threw in *Shrek*"...
...which, like, yeah I wouldn't complain, would be nice.
Agree that having more exclusive minifigs would make the price go down better. Compare this to the Daily Bugle which is only $50 more but is a fair bit bigger and has *way* more minifigs.
@experimentsininsanity4478 Yes, but almost all Zelda characters that would make sense for this set would require brand new elements themselves. This set already has several brand new molds, adding in another character to the level of detail they've set would likely just increase the cost even more.
Def a dream come true, people have been theorizing Zelda LEGO sets for decades but sucks it ends up coming out and it's in the "Adult Nostalgia" section with a huge markup like every other "dream" property LEGO has been doing. That said, I'd love to see the Ocarina of Time version of Hyrule Castle or even Twilight Princess after this just to see what it would look like.
The price is inline with licensed Lego products. It's 0,12 euro per part. That's about the same as the Star Wars Canteen that's about 0,12.5 euro per part. The difference is in the minifigure count. However you do get unique parts (for now) like the shield and sword and these are new molds that are quite the cost if they will be used only one time. Also the set has a nice range of parts in it. The reality is that everything is getting more expensive now because of the global situation. It can't be expected of Lego to keep prices low. To be clear I am not defending it.
Super interesting to hear a “non-fan” review of this set. Appreciate that honesty! ❤
Man this is so surreal. 300 dollars is a lot but there's also a LOT here, I'm really tempted to go for it mannnn. Also they amount of custom minifigure stuff they've made for this has to mean there's a full wave coming right? I really hope so. It would be really cool if they made this a whole theme with the gimmick being able to see landmarks in the Zelda world in both their BOTW and OOT states. If I get this I'll definently be going for BOTW not just because I've played BOTW and not OOT, but also because I just prefer the builds too, altho I'm sure so many ppl will be so happy that there's an OOT version
what a shock, it's out of my price range. but as a zelda fan, i would love to see a review of this set
Both version look really nice.
I'd like to get two of these to display each version, but that would be a lot of money.
It just looks really neat.
I’d like to see you review it. You not knowing the property would make the review a lot less biased. Really helps when deciding value over love of the property
As a kid who spent the better part of my childhood making custom Lego figures, particuarly Nintendo characters, which was the primary focus of the community for whatever reason. It feels like some hole deep down in my soul that i didn't realize existed has been repaired finally seeing an official Lego Link and Zelda.
A SPECTACULAR-looking set overall, with so many details I just adore as a lifelong Zelda and LEGO fan, but I can’t believe the price, especially since you’d actually have to buy two of the sets to actually be able to build both versions (and believe me when I say I want both versions; that Ocarina of Time Deku Tree and Link’s house are so iconic)…
Yes, please review this one, Jang! I have not played BOTW, just OoT, but it looks gorgeous and I really want to know your thoughts having built it and in-hand. Thank you, as always for your, amazing work and content!
I would absolutely love to see you review this set
The figures and their accessories look phenomenal!
This being 2/3 of the price of the Barad-Dur is insane💀
I enjoy all your reviews, and having a more objective one (without nostalgia from having played the games) would definitely be interesting to see!
I'd love to see you review the set. Even if you don't get all of the references, there is still value in your thoughts as regards the build, value, etc.
As soon as I saw the leaks, I knew this was going to be an instant purchase. My daughter and I have been building LEGO since she was 2, and playing Zelda games since she was 3. I don't think it's a great value at $300, but honestly, they could charge $500 and I wouldn't bat an eye. So excited for this!
I want a review from you jang. I'd want it all from you. Been watching you since the beginnings. But yeah this one in particular definetely.
Yes, I would like to see you review it
definitely would like to see you review it
The Saturn V set had 19 more pieces than this and was only $120. I know they always charge more for licensed stuff but $180 more just for 3 minifigures is insane!
I really do like the set, the Breath of the Wild version is definitely the more impressive build and is more exciting to look at, but for me the Ocarina of Time version is so nostalgic and iconic that I’d definitely choose to display it as that. But I’m going to have to wait and see if I can find this for drastically on sale because that price is just crazy. $300 could be used to buy so many other things so putting that all into one Lego set would be a huge commitment for me.
For 300 we better be able to built both the tree’s instead of one
Hi Jang! I have already decided that I will get this if/when I can, as I really like what I see and I love the games. However, I would still really like to see your review of it if you can make it 😄.
Also, thank you so much for this video. I did not know this was a thing until I saw your video. You really made my morning 😆. I am really happy already just knowing that this exists and it’s a real thing.
I would highly enjoy a review of this set from you
would love to see you review it jang but i completely understand any apprehensions about the price 😂
Would LOVE to see your review for this, Jang (if you don't mind picking it up)!
They do need to make more video game sets like this and the Tallneck. But more like the tallneck at a more reasonable price
I haven't played or seen it, but this look phenomenal, I would highly suggest you doing a review on this one :)
I would love to see you review it since I would like to see it before buying it
id love to see a review from you, a lot of the other high quality channels have played these games so are kinda bias so it'd be nice to see a review thats closer to "objective"
A great set. Will be day 1 purchase for me, definitely need those figures and accessories.
I always find you bring great value to your reviews even if you aren't familiar with the subject matter. I'd love to see you review this one personally.
This looks like a solid set design and figures are great. Price is steep without some significant bonus but likely to pick it up at some point.
Oh god Official Zelda minifigure I Want it xD or them!
Tkx for the review long time viewer here !! :D
I do really like the set. Just looking at pictures almost made me forget about the ridiculous price. $300 for a 2-in-1 that'll likely have a bevy of unused pieces? Not gonna buy, but I may pick up the parts for the brick-built Hestu.
As someone else who also has never played the games but is interested in this model, your review would be valuable to me
New shield mold. thats a surprise.
This would be a really nice set for you (JANG) to buy and review.
Of course, JANG should only get this if he really wants it.
If this were a normal year for me, I’d be preordering it right now. [I’ve had some big expenses, so Lego buying is way down.] That looks awesome and has a ton of useful pieces in new colors. Never played (or even seen) the videogames, so I don’t have any preconceptions of what it should look like. Maybe that’s part of _why_ I like it so much?
While it is expensive, I would absolutely love to get your opinion on this set as a LEGO set first, completely unbiased from your knowledge or interest in the source material. Plus it would be great to watch it assembled on Twitch as well!
I’m a big Zelda fan so I was always planning to get this regardless of reviews, but I’d still like it if you made one
I'd love to get your review on it. It's expensive, but I'm interested.
Very impressed with your Zelda knowledge Jang, I did not expect you to recogize the baby Deku tree O_O
And I hate this price so much, sucks to see such a highly requested theme locked behind a 300€/$ paywall...
Zelda set and minifigs looks awesome can you buy it please great preview jang 👍
This is a beautiful, beautiful build. I’m normally not one to necessarily focus on figures but man, those figures are EXCELLENT. Incredibly beautiful and made with a lot of love and respect.
It is just an absolute shame about that price. A real, real shame. I hope they can make some other Zelda sets that are much more accessible. Personally i’d love to see a review from Jang
Would love to see you review it, especially because the price has me a little hesitant
i'd love to see you get it. it's definitely out of my price range 😭
I absolutely would love to see you buy and review
BotW figs could've used arm printing, but otherwise still great figs. They only show Young Link with an alternate face, I hope the others have it as well.
There's most likely not going to be space for Minifigs for the canopy of the Ocarina version of the Deku tree because that area was never accessible in the game. There's a whole dungeon inside the tree that you enter through his mouth. Also his face wasn't expressive in OoT. And the reason there's not as much going on around him is because it was just a small clearing. They included the relevant details from the clearing in the space they used. We are comparing an N64 game to a newer gen game so obviously there will be variability in terms of setting details.
yes please review it.
I can see, where the price is coming. There is ton of new molds, like the master sword, the new ocarina, Links and zeldas hairpieces.
But yeah, 300€ isnt a great deal
There was me hoping to get 2 of them so I could display both. Welp. Zelda is my favourite thing ever so I will, but man.. that's a hefty price
As a Zelda BOTW and TOTK fan, I love this set, especially the minifigures and accessories, and the koroks all over. I like that you can animate the great deku tree.
I wish the set was cheaper though, should be $250 or $200
The problem with this set is that if they're testing Lego Zelda sets with this it won't be a good test since less people will buy it since its pretty expensive. Castle has a similar problem
A Zelda CMF series would be awesome, and a Mario series also
Its great that most video game sets only have prints, with no stickers
I would love to see a review on this! I know many people are upset about the price, and it is steep I won't deny that, but the fact that this is now reality is a long time childhood wish fulfilment for me.
$300 is a lot but... I really love the source material, the build, and the minis. I'm worried I might have to buy a second if it ever goes on sale.
Crazy for this to be the first Zelda set and be more expensive than buying a Switch. Should have started with some smaller sets as well or alongside this version.
The Ocarina of Time “version” has link’s house as a side build which is cool. I think the price reflects the fact that you are paying for other parts not being used when you build one version or the other. Regardless, it’s very expensive. I’d love to see a review.
Looks amazing. Would not have believed that this was going to ever happen until recently. Not sure about the 2 in 1 aspect for such an expensive set though. I guess it is nice that it gives people the choice of their preferred game, but surely it could have been a bit cheaper if it was only one build right?
I am super excited by this. It looks great. As someone whose been playing Zelda games since my childhood NES, this is a wonderful treat. It's funny, my reaction was the opposite in terms of which version excited me more. As much as I adore Breath of the Wild, Ocarina of Time just holds too big a place in my heart. Now if only they'd make a Hyrule Castle...
Both Deku Tree models are very accurate, but what I'm wondering is if you can still build child Links house while building the BOTW version of the Deku Tree. At least that way you'd have somewhere to display the OoT Links that makes sense without having to buy two sets. Also since they're including Hestu I hope we're getting at least one golden 1 x 1 with Horizontal Swirl / Twist piece. If you know you know.
I’d love to get my hands on the figures and the accessories, but I’m less fussed about the full set. I think it was a fantastic choice to have the Deku Tree be a two in one for the different generations of fans, hit two demographics with one set. But the price though…
You should 100% review this!!!
I really hope they do the great sky islands but idk how they’d pull it off tbh
Yes
Id love to see a review. I definitely am saving up for it. The price hurts (i was hoping $250 to $270 from the leaks) but it does look fairly large with some special molds specific to this set. And no stickers. But this is one of those times I wish Lego didn't have to raise the US prices because of the Euro value. And ill still argue its unfair €300 includes tax but $300 US does not 😂
Getting off topic. Super excited for this set. It was designed by the guy who got the first Zelda ideas submission, iron knuckles, to 10,000k like a decade ago. Glad he is still able to fulfill that dream 🥲
Lego is really banking on those mini figs, and there's a good chance it'll work if there's no other way to get them for the foreseeable future.
The price is steep, but I find it somewhat justified by the option to build it two different ways. I know that I probably wouldn’t if I got it, but it would be kind of cool to take it apart one day and create the other version to reengage with the set. I am a huge Lego and Zelda fan, so I am tempted to buy. However, Jang, I would only review the set if you are interested in it personally. I will of course watch your video on it, but there are going to be so many fans of Zelda and Lego reviewing that it is probably not necessary.
i’ve only played link to the past, i really like the ocarina of time one but not for 300 lol maybe i could’ve been convinced to get a 100 zelda set
My issue is thats its a 2in1. Since you can’t display both at the same time you only get 1/2 of the value the price is actually offering. I think they should have committed to one or the other for the design to lower the price
would love to see you do a review but it is ridiculously expensive so i understand if ya don't
